The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 11,110 kilograms, or 11.11 metric tons.
Before it was launched, it weighed 108,956 newtons (24,493 pounds). It has had
no weight since April 1990, and at the present time, it still weighs nothing.

How many satellites did the space shuttle discovery deploy?
31 (including the Hubble Space Telescope)
How many people built the hubble telescope?
More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
Who created and built the Hubble Telescope?
There were many scientists who created and built the Hubble Telescope under the auspices of NASA. The telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an astronomer in the early 1900s.
Who built the hubble telescope?
Many people and organizations were involved in designing and building the initial parts of the Hubble Space Telescope. Lockheed (Lockheed Martin today) was the prime contractors for building the telescope, but there were many other contractors involved. The various instruments were designed by different combinations of universities, contractors, NASA, and ESA (European Space Agency).
Why was the space shuttle program so important to the success of the hubble space telescope?
Many reasons. For one, the telescope was started and designed specifically with the space shuttle in mind. It was launched on a space shuttle, and only the space shuttle's ability to carry astronauts and capture satellites with the robotic arm made the correctional repairs possible. Several servicing missions by space shuttles have upgraded and replaced vital parts to extend the telescope's life and keep it in orbit. After the Columbia disaster, the space shuttle and telescope's futures were both in question. If the space shuttle never existed, we wouldn't have the Hubble space telescope either.
What invention was made after the Hubble Space Telescope?
Right after The Hubble Space Telescope, many new inventions were made. :D
How many people built Hubble space telescope?
More than 10,000 people made the Hubble Telescope. It took 20 years to make the Hubble Telescope.
How many people can fit in a hubble spacecraft?
The Hubble is a telescope used to see deep space, it is not a spacecraft.
How many satellites did the space shuttle discovery deploy?

The light from distant stars and other objects can be distorted in many ways which type of optical telescope best avoids the problem caused by distortion?
Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
How does hubble telescope accomplish?
The Hubble Space Telescope is designed to see deep into space. So it has taken many fascinating photos of the outer reaches of the universe, or in our own galaxy. It has accomplished taking many photos for scientists to study, and for us to see.
Why hubble spacecraft is used to explore space?
Hubble is the name of a giant telescope that is in space. It is known as the Hubble Space Telescope and it is named after Edwin Hubble, who was a famous astronomer. It is very large and because it is outside the Earth's atmosphere it can get a clearer view of the stars, constellations, galaxies and other things it looks at, compared to a ground-based telescope. It has got some wonderful photographs and many new things have been seen with it and many new things have been learned about space by using it. That is why it is so important.
How many people built the hubble telescope?
More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
How many astronauts live in the Hubble satellite?
None, it's a telescope used for deep space exploration.
What has the Hubble space telescope discovered in space?
Because of Hubble, we now know how big and how old the universe is. Hubble also proved the existence of Black holes and showed there are many of them. It examined the composition of a world around another star.
